The distribution of manufacturing overhead costs to individual product unit, or production batches generally, requires a base or a cost driver, to which reference a rate, known as material burden rate applies. Material burden is the amount of manufacturing overhead costs that a unit of the base carries.
The steel material only accounts for about one-third of the total framing cost. Two-thirds of the cost goes into fabrication, erection, and other labor costs. Like archeng59, I often add steel tonnage in order to have a more repetetive building that cuts down the labor costs.
